Dear Friends,
Mahmoud Al Masalmeh, Wesam's brother, his wife Ibtehal, daughter Heba, age 9, and sons Barra, age 7 and Mohammed, age 4 were reunited with their family on 11 Jan and are currently staying with Wesam's parents.
Since their arrival, the hunt has been on for an apartment. With the current housing situation in HRM, it was anticipated it might take a few months, however, Wesam and his network were able to locate a 3 bedroom apartment in Larry Utek area for Feb 1st.
We are now ramping up to gather household items for the move. We have been collecting and storing items since last spring but are still in need of some furniture items as well as, linens, towels, kitchen items.
Janet Skiba will be helping Wesam coordinate any donations people might wish to offer.
We are looking for:
(1) queen mattress, (1) single bed frame, (1) sofa, (1) coffee table, (1) end table, living room and bedroom lamps , (3) dressers, (5) night stands, (1) set of linens for the queen bed, (3) sets of linens for single beds, pillows for the beds, and various kitchen items.
We have a small dining table with 3 chairs but if someone has a larger one we may be able to use it.
Should any members of Saint Andrews have furniture or other household goods to donate, or questions, please contact Janet Skiba at:
902 499 0327 or janet.skiba@gmail.com.
Arrangements for pick up of items will be made on or before move in day.
We are very appreciative of your thankful of your ongoing interest and support of the Al Masalmeh family.
